Nope, John had not finished some bits - plan is this weekend <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Drive down early Sat AM (get up at 05:00 <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> ) and drive down to John's - finish the fit-out of the boat and measure and decide what luff length jib we are going for. Couple of drinks with John and Sue and then drive back Sunday.

Following week I'm too busy to sail it <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> So first sail will probably be the following weekend - 2nd / 3rd Dec.

With respect to luff length jib.

Make sure the spreader arms don't hook to easily with the jib leech or prevent it from being sheeted tight. If they do then having more jib luff length and maybe a hollow leech will help.

An issue I discovered personally after the jib was made
